Tuesday under a blue backdrop,
sun-soaked canvas-
America bled.
decades later,
some of us are still at war-
we cannot come home.
The cost
of freedom
is eternal
vigilance-
selfless
sacrifice.
In a locked closet
citations for nightmares-
heroes and horrors.
Saints and Sinners-
we are all the same,
turning of the shattered hourglass.
-Resolute Lee
